From the White House to the Jaguars

It is said that Americans dare to shoot this and that, but many Chinese filmmakers don’t think so. So, Americans make science fiction films, and we make 'magic films' (painted skins, painted walls, and various paintings). Americans make action movies, we make 'fly' movies (because we fly higher), America makes cartoons, we make 'Flash' movies (the story the wolf and the sheep have to tell)... But there are some old-fashioned movies We can't make it if it is beautiful. For example, in "The Fall of Olympus", the old beauty dares to make fun of her own nest. Can we do it?

The White House, secretly code-named "Olympus" by the Secret Service, is in crisis. A group of terrorists first attacked here with heavy planes and machine guns, and then sent a group of death squads to enter, and they completely occupied the place. The Presidential Palace of the United States hijacked the President of the United States and used it as a threat in an attempt to control the world situation. This is the familiar White House.

We often see hero and heroine in foreign movies who can wreak havoc in any country and anywhere, the most famous of which is the '007' spy named James Bond. If the cultural relics and historical sites he once 'destroyed' are added together, according to Guo Degang's words, it may not be an exaggeration to pull him out and shoot him for an hour. But having said that, when we watched the movie, we opened our eyes, stretched our mouth, and patted our thighs, thinking that this movie can still be made like this. Can the people of all countries agree? Do the leaders of your country know about this?

In the past year, we Chinese people have been staring at the American hometown - the White House has been 'dumped' twice in the movie, before there was "The White House Falls" and now there is "Olympus" The Fall of "The Fall", it seems that if you don't turn the whole good president's palace into devastated people, you will feel bad for this movie. No matter how shocking we are, we can only sigh that the leaders of your country have worked hard and risked their lives to the point of death every day. It is estimated that only Americans can do the level of national leaders to the level of bodyguards and police. It is estimated that this is also part of the so-called 'American dream' to not take their country's highest administrative organ seriously. .

I remember a long, long time ago watching a domestically produced movie called "Codename Jaguar", directed by Zhang Yimou, starring Ge You and Gong Li. It is a first-class production team now. It tells a story of hijacking. Ge You rarely plays a robber, and Gong Li plays a kind-hearted nurse who walks on the edge of justice and evil. The plot now seems to be rather nonsense. According to Uncle Ge's words later, it is the most annoying of these robbers, and they are not professional at all. But at the time, I was still taken aback by a young man like me who had not seen a few decent movies. First, the subject matter was new enough, and armed hijacking was a matter of capitalist countries. There are also. Second, there are thieves thinking about the high-end and high-end means of transportation such as airplanes, which deeply affected my fragile sense of security, and caused me to think wildly when I saw an airplane. Third, for the first time, I understood what justice means will eventually triumph over evil, and what it means is that no matter how cunning a fox is, a good hunter cannot escape, which laid a good foundation for the establishment of my "Three Views".

Later, there was "News Network", there was a film censorship system, and there were various Chinese-style 'wonderful' blockbusters, but there was no longer the 'jaguar'-style impact on me. Watching the White House in the United States being 'ravaged and trampled' over and over again in the movie, I couldn't help but say a voice: let it go! I come! Leave the task of saving the world to me...
